Team Vitality on the way out of the top 5
In 2023, the professional CS: GO scene was alternately dominated by three European teams, and Team Vitality was one of them. The end of last season turned out to be a shock for the squad Dana apEX Madeclera – roster won at IEM Beijing Online 2023 and BLAST Premier: Fall 2023having lost only one match in two tournaments. But when looking at the results of the French team in the new year, the thought of black and white stripes inevitably comes to mind, because it is simply impossible to call Team Vitality’s performances in 2023 a “failure”.
In addition to the terrifying statistics – three wins in nine matches in two tournaments – the idea of a crisis in the team is perfectly supported by the news coming from the team’s camp over the past month. First, the roster coach, unexpectedly for everyone, sent the captain of the apEX roster to inactive in the midst of BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2023so that he or she is engaged in health, or solves problems with motivation. Then, nine days later, all the hardships of Madesclair were abruptly behind, and he triumphantly returned to the team to lose two matches of three on IEM Katowice 2023 and fly out of the prestigious championship without any idea.
If suddenly Team Vitality fans decided that it was a one-time promotion and now the team has left all misunderstandings behind, then I hasten to upset you – on March 12, the day before the start of the Group B matches at ESL Pro League Season 13, club representatives announced that Nivera leaves the team, as the organization “does not want to lose points due to the new Valve rule of sixth players.” What is happening in Team Vitality at the start of 2023 indicates the presence of a number of unresolved issues in the team, so the upcoming tournament may be the last for the roster in its current form. After all, if the team fails the EPL group stage, then it will almost certainly fly out of the top 5 world rankings, and ZywOo for the first time in his career, at the end of the year, he will have to receive a medal from HLTV.org not with the number “1”.
The odds are taken from the site of the Parimatch betting company and are relevant at the time of publication of the material.
In the opening match, Team Vitality will face the FaZe Clan. On the website of the bookmaker Parimatch, you can bet on the success of the French team with odds of 1.60.
Was kennyS a problem?
On March 13, a historic event will take place: for the first time in over four years, Esports will not enter the server for the G2 side kennyS… Over the years, as part of the Spanish organization, Schrab has degenerated from the best sniper in France into a mediocre player, capable of letting the team down at a crucial moment. KennyS really outlived its usefulness in G2 – he spent almost all recent tournaments with an individual rating of about one, and such statistics can hardly suit the team’s sniper. But although with Shrab’s kick everything seems to be clear, to the composition Nemanji nexa Isakovic a huge number of questions still remain.
Here’s the thing: the team decided not to look for a new sniper to replace kennyS and instead entrusted NiKo superstar position. The official announcement states that Kovacs will be a “hybrid” player, playing the role of a sniper and a reifler. A kind of Bosnian Alexander s1mple Kostylev… But if you look closely, the new version of G2 Esports is actually very similar to Natus Vincere… NiKo in the role of s1mple is gorgeous, no one doubts the personal skill of the Bosnian, so he will certainly cope with his tasks in the team. HuNter- as electronic – great choice; the second Kovacs is also very stable, and overall his individual performance is at a very good level, so brother NiKo will be able to keep the bar. But further things are very interesting. JACKZ, AmaNEk and nexa can easily become new Boombl4, flamie and Perfecto, after all, one or the other throughout their careers alternate successful performances with a fiasco. And here the question arises: will NiKo be able to pull games for the team on his back, as Kostylev did in his time? Natus Vincere seems to have solved their problems, or at least they are on the right path to this (we assume that the team was simply unlucky in the IEM Katowice 2023 playoffs), but what awaits G2 Esports is very, very interesting.
In the opening match, G2 Esports will face Ninjas in Pajamas. On the website of the bookmaker Parimatch, you can bet on the success of the French team with odds of 1.75.
Can genius karrigan help FaZe Clan?
At ESL Pro League, fans will see the full debut of the updated FaZe Clan roster. It hardly makes sense to look at the team’s results at IEM Katowice 2023, before which the team had only a couple of days to prepare. But before the EPL, FaZe had almost three weeks to play and work out the strategies of karrigan, which I am sure he has plenty of.
I want to believe in the team for a number of reasons. First, the names of the players on the roster speak for themselves. Coldzera and Twistzz – the established superstars of the scene, winning tournaments of all possible calibers. Karrigan and rain – old-timers of CS: GO, still maintaining stability and having a wealth of knowledge. Broky is still a young and up-and-coming sniper who has all the chances to reveal himself with the support of such experienced teammates.
Secondly, karrigan often allows its players to act rather relaxed, thus maximizing their potential and taking all the dirty work on themselves. This is a very important point for such e-sportsmen as David and Van Dalken, because it is with the proper freedom that they begin to give out highlight after highlight. And thirdly, let’s remember the last FaZe Clan tournament with olofmeister in the composition. With what pleasure this team played! After a series of disappointing results, the game with Kayber removed the pressure from the roster: the cybersportsmen laughed after losing rounds, supported each other and were able to score a couple of beautiful victories. Although olofmeister knew that he would leave the roster after BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2023, he finally managed to remind his partners why they love Counter-Strike so much. In total, on paper, we have the strongest performers under the guidance of an experienced captain, and at the same time everyone enjoys playing with each other. If all factors work out as needed, then very soon FaZe Clan can remind its fans what the taste of victory is.
In the opening match, FaZe Clan will face Team Vitality. On the website of the bookmaker Parimatch, you can bet on the success of the composition of Finn karrigan Andersen with the odds of 2.25.
The last ropz dance at mousesports?
While karrigan is establishing work in a new team for himself, his former team is likely to face a quick restructuring. With the departure of the Danish captain to mousesports there is only one person left, representing the world elite in Counter-Strike. Ropz has long established itself as one of the best players on the planet, but the same cannot be said about his teammates. Looking at the latest performances, one can only highlight frozen, but I deeply doubt that ropz and frozen will ever terrify top 10 opponents. Among other things, the team simply does not have a leader who can become an authority for partners and lead the team. Dexter, who took on this role, was the last of all to join the team and is just getting used to new conditions, since before that he spent his entire career in Australia.
The only question mousesports really wants to ask is what will happen to ropz? Considering the above, he has no particular reason to stay in the German club. Moreover, against the background of kennyS leaving G2 Esports, a rumor immediately began to spread in the network that the Estonian could take his place in the Spanish club. Whether this is true or not is still unknown, but Kohl will definitely play for mousesports at the ESL Pro League. I advise you to watch the matches of this team more carefully, because, perhaps, this will be the last tournament for ropz wearing a mousesports jersey.
In the opening match, mousesports will face ENCE. On the website of the Parimatch betting company, you can bet on the success of the ropz line-up with a coefficient of 1.45.
Will Swedish youth continue to dishonor the Ninjas in Pajamas tag?
How NiP are ranked 12th in the ranking of the best teams in the world is known only to the administrators of HLTV.org. Last championship Ninjas in Pajamas dated October 17, 2019 – then the team won ECS Season 8 Europe Week 3, defeating the “formidable” French from m1x in the final. And the last tournament, in which there was at least one team from the top 10, NiP won back in 2017, but most of the current roster has nothing to do with this victory – only REZ…
How long the management of the Swedish organization will be able to tolerate such results is unclear. Most likely, the squad will receive some more time, given the recent transfer ztr… With him, the team, it would seem, began to show a decent game and immediately defeated Astralis, largely thanks to the gorgeous performance of the 17-year-old newcomer, and then qualified for IEM Katowice 2023 without any problems. But the tale ended there: at the championship itself, NiP took a not very honorable 13-16 place. At ESL Pro League, the team needs to make the most of the problems of the group rivals in their favor, otherwise the next step may be a disband.
In the opening match, Ninjas in Pajamas will face G2 Esports. On the website of the bookmaker Parimatch, you can bet on the success of the Swedish team with a coefficient of 2.01.
